Abstract excerpt
Loss of ATRX function, a diagnostic criterion of IDH-mutant astrocytoma, is closely associated with alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), a telomere maintenance mechanism (TMM). As immunohistochemical (IHC) assessment of ATRX is error-prone, sequencing has been integrated into clinical workflows. While frameshift and nonsense variants can be classified as loss-of-function (LOF) mutations, missense variants...
